NCAA FINAL FOUR: Championship Game Thread

[RUinPinehurst]

How is NC State "right where they want to be"? They're down 6 and the other point guard has 5 turnovers and two back courts!

Pack guard play is solid. But shots not falling. PU getting too many second (and third) shots. Hoping Pack point guard can get play in second half.

Pretty sure they're all drunk....

I don’t know what I just watched . But I see Purdue pulling away in this one.
The whole crew was raving about nc state and Kenny smith flat out said the Wolfpack will win this game.

I am calling BS on this crew ! Purdue gets it done in the second half . Another legendary plum call??

Not Purdue's best game but never trailed and still up 6

What’s your take on the halftime show ? Were they in the bar all first half ?

Phoenix. They're dehydrated. LOL.

Edey is playing like a goon today. Completely off his game

 

[fatsam98]

They all look like they're playing on ice to be honest. Weird game

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Edey is being exposed and if Purdue's guard don't hit 3s consistently, they are not good. NC State exposing the guards too

 

[ClassOf02]

For awhile there, neither team was playing like they wanted to move on. But two 3s from Purdue are big just now. Kind of a blah game.

 

[FIJI'83]

Surprising how Purdue is now up by 12 while getting nothing out of Edey in second half. NC State shooting is cold as ice 🧊.

True. But PU is 8/17 on 3s.

Lmao Ian Eagle is a national treasure

"Smith safe on that slide"

I haven’t been watching that closely but he’s 7 of 11 with 16 pts / 9 rebounds / 3 assists. Seems like a pretty good stat line?

This has to stop

 

[FIJI'83]

Is it against the rules if Burns were to play with an oxygen tank strapped to his back?

 

[bac2therac]

Smith is terrible today

Why dont they call fouls in final 4?

 

[FIJI'83]

Burns 🥵 burns

I think he went almost 12 minutes without a bucket across halftime, and he has five turnovers.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

True. But PU is 8/17 on 3s.

When NC State chase Purdue's guards off the 3pt line, they are lost and can't for the life of them drive to the basket. It's 3 or die.

Cinderella’s slippers fell off

 

[bac2therac]

I have seen enough. I am declaring Purdue to advance to the Championship Game

Purdue has played like ass and up 15

 

[Knight Shift]

I f'in hate Purdue, and wish they would have lost this game.

 

[Plum Street]

Phoenix. They're dehydrated. LOL.

Hey maybe they will be right and I am wrong . They’re college basketball experts

 

[RU848789]

Edey dominating inside and Purdue shooting better from outside - not complicated. This one's over. I'll have my final two teams in if UConn wins as expected. Too bad I wasn't interested enough to play any pools, lol, although I'm sure a ton of people would've had two #1 seeds...

Plum does it again !! This time out analyzes the studio crew expert:s in an in game analysis !!

Legendary !!

 

[bac2therac]

Congrats to Purdue. Bring it home for the Big 10!

Lol nice. You picked the two teams everyone else picked to play in championship. Congratulations!! 🤪

 

[ecojew]

Well, Purdue is now up 20, so the B1G will be represented in both NCAA finals.

Go Purdue.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Roll Tide!

 

[shields]

Go Bama.

 

[fatsam98]

Charles is definitely hammered right?

Edey makes Shaq look small.

 

[fatsam98]

ROLL TIDE

Favorite moment. Zach on Burns.. "he's a good guy"

 

[DHajekRC84]

Can somebody remind me if we went after the NJ kid from Hofstra ?

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Game was never in doubt the whole second half. I didn't listen to the halftime blather but I heard Smith predict the Wolfpack were going to win the game. Did the networks ask someone to take that position, hoping it would encourage fans to stick around to the end?

Edey had a lot of turnovers but other than that, I wouldn't call a 20/14 night with two blocks and 9 of 14 from the field a bad game.

Edey woke up again for the last 12 minutes... Not sure what was going on with him for the middle stretch before/after half.
